So a little thread for your best moments of FCS 2013, the bits you'll remember, all the funnies.
So for me:
- Leading the convoy on the motorway and hear a shout on the radio "There's a Prius, coal it!" Looking in my mirror and realising I was the only diesel left to do it, pulled out and let the Prius catch up, foot hard down, cloud of smoke, lift pump cut out have to let several lorries undertake me before coasting to the hard shoulder to restart my engine.
- My pink OC vest, so many looks from people. I does it because I can.
- Putting my meat and 2 veg on Just Sean's shoulder when he fell asleep drinking then when he woke up a couple of minutes later getting him to sniff his shoulder and him realising what the smell was.
- Both Dave's and Zakk's cars drawing by far the biggest crowds of the day to the Dyno and non OC members not realising why nobody was standing behind or down wind of the car then people actually RUNNING away when the coal came.
- Realising that in the right light Eds penismobile is the same colour as blaze on a 306 (and that Ed looks a little bit like Ben Jay.
- Chris Pellowes car being the only car in the themed paddocks to draw a crowd all day long.
- Queuing for our parade lap next to a load of 19 year old looking 106owners and them all sitting in their cars and looking on dissaprovingly as we stealth bummed, trolled, ran around, trolled, shouted at each other and had samass standing on pellowes roof and me standing on my roof looking at each other and generally falling over laughing. It was a weird reminder that were not like other clubs and probably why were so awesome.
- Dinner in the resturant at the camp site, food was lush but it said desert came with cream or custard or ice cream. I blagged all 3, and was grinning like a cheshire cat.
- Pellowes car drawing more attention than some of the really tidy cars on that stand
- Us winning 3rd place in the club stand. Testimant to to all of the members cars and the stand organisation...oh and maybe Fooby working his magic with the women.....
- Ed almost crying when i pointed out one numberplate screw on his front plate was lower than the other.
Oh and the use of the walkie talkies on the convoy there. Some of it was quite comical and the scuff watch on the way home today was good!

Eds blaze Megane getting coaled to f*ck, the northerners beer gazebo while everyone else was down't pub, the wrestling match between Chris and Sean, the 2.1 sedan having to be pushed off the dyno, me performing the first stealthbum of the day on Darren, and shouting "He's doing science!" Every time Ruan talked about turbos.... Could go on all night...

Unfortunately its not as simple as that due to liability issues but its something that we are looking at as a club for next year

theres one just south of Cirencester. Used to scrap jets etc.
But a few racing teams, inc Mclaren etc, use it for testing.
Always quiet there...worth looking into as it aint far from the M4
Oh and just because jonny wanted to be different he decided to destroy his car a little bit more temporarily I think oc may have had the title of "broke down and pushed in" didnt see anyone else needing a push?

Tbf, do you think any others push their cars like we do? I'm talking about big boost XUD's, Jonny's is pretty much double stock power, etc.

I got that I was more commenting on that being the reason we have to be pushed in.
